Miss Teen S.C. Can't Answer A Question

We won't even begin to dissect the numerous grammatical problems with this response, but we will amuse ourselves with the content of her answer. Miss Teen South Carolina was asked a question about Americans and their poor geography skills, and she responded with something along the lines of blah, blah, blah, blah...doing goodwill abroad. WHAT?!

I'm much more shocked by the question than the answer...I actually re-watched it just to make sure I heard right--1/5 of Americans can't find the AMERICA on a map??! Their own f***ing country?? Is there any hope for us???

It wasn't that silly of a question. A simple response would have been " The American education system doesn't place much emphasis on geography. Hence Americans may not recognize their own continent on a map". Her garbled response was so embarrassing.This is why I teach my daughter that beauty is nice to have, but intellect is so much more important.
